Registration and Grading
Registration
Registration to the course platform is done by clicking the Register link on the upper right-hand corner of this page and filling in your details (if you are on a mobile device with a narrow screen, click on the four lines icon to show the link).
If you have previously worked on courses offered on the FITech platform platform such as FITech 101: Digi & Data course series (in Finnish) or the Web Software Development course, the same account can be used here.
When you work as a registered and logged in user, your progress will be stored.
Note! If you are an Aalto student, register to the course platform using your @aalto.fi-email address. The account that you create during registration differs from your main aalto.fi account.
It is possible to read the materials and work on the majority of the assignments without registration. If you choose to continue without registration, your progress may disappear if you e.g. clear information stored in your browser, do not visit the materials for a while, or if we do changes to the course platform.
